Correct. During the games there will be little "mini matches" (i.e. Blood Legion vs Visigoths for control of Bedlam) and 90% (not sure on that number) need to be from the specified squad. Each player has the arm tape to show which Team (New Empire or Horde) and there is also a strip of tape fixed to the back of each players mask to show which squad they are with.

The General is usually given the order from Viper I'm not sure how far in advance that is given. The General radios to the squad leader, and they try to rally their group to the area they are supposed to be in. People that are reinserting have to check in at the command tent before going back into the game and usually the XO is there giving out locations for people to go.

any chance we can see who is leading the other New Empire squads? Seems as though the Horde is stacked again this year and this thread only helps promote their side even more by showing some organization. Either way, can't wait for May to get here!

yeah since the horde won last year it should be expected that many from new empire would switch. If it comes to the point that the teams are crazy lopsided (along the lines of Rosie O'Donald's breasts) Sean or Viper will probably ask some teams and individuals to transfer sides.

I've gotten the heads up from the leader of the Minotaur Legion, but I don't want to update it unitll I've been approved to do so by him. If Mike confirms that he is leading the Praetorians again I will post that up too. Last year New Empire didn't make a ton of their organization public knowledge, so I couldn't divide up the teams according to what division they were fighting for. This year I'm just going to say if that team has committed to a side or not and leave it to the Private Forums or even just the leaders to organize that.

As for the unbalanced teams, last year I thought the teams were unbalanced right up untill the final week before the event. At that point I realized that The Horde was just more forthcoming with their teams. Viper or Sean would probably be able to give the final numbers, but I think the New Empire had a large body count advantage over The Horde. Also keep in mind that The New Empire would have won had it only been a 1 day event. It was the Sunday domination that gave The Horde the win.

Keep in mind that the mods are also adding to the list, and since two of the division leaders for The Horde are mods (active mods at that) their list will probably be a lot more updated than The New Empire's. Now either Mike hasn't seen this thread, is too busy to update it, or is keeping an air of mystery about the structure of The New Empire. Either way it goes, trust me the teams will even out. I don't think Viper/Sean/CPX would let the game be totally lopsided..

philip0871 - That's entirely up to you. If you're ready to commit to one or the other is all your preference, and if you want others to know that's your preference too. If you want others to know, tell me and I'll put you on the list, but keep in mind you don't have to tell anyone if you don't want to.

Entirely up to you. I know that last year, my guys and I, we kind of just picked up on wherever we were needed. However we always checked in every so often with the Team XO and found out what was going on and where the next rumble for our squad was. We often ended up meeting up with most of our squad at these events, and then either forged out on our own or hooked up with others to find stuff to conquer lol.

We were often tasked out though, as we had two launchers on our team and were oft needed to assist in a push (including a mass wave push through the airball fields on Sunday Morning), and to take care of tanks or clear out the city.

You can find whoever your squad leader is (or one of the teams in your squad) and roll with them, or like I said, you can kinda push out on your own and find out where you are needed. The most important aspect though, is be social. An event like this can be pretty intimidating if you are rolling in by yourself, but don't be afraid to ask questions, or show enthusiasm getting involved. One of the guys who rolled iwth my team last year actually asked us about 2 weeks before hand if he could roll with us at the event as he didn't have anyone to join up with. Ended up that he picked up a medic card and was all over the field. Got over 400 revives in that one weekend, earning his spot as the Horde side MVP. Pretty impressive for what he told us, was his first big scenario game.

Just goes to show that being social has its benefits, feel free to ask questions and say hi to people, we are all pretty darn friendly

Except for that Orange guy. I hear he's a douche

The best part, and main reason why, everyone goes to LL is because it is pretty much a big ol' family reunion. You don't know these people personally, but it almost feels as if they were family you haven't seen in years
